Venice -> Florence

Venice was as tourist trap as you can get.

Gucci, Pucci, Amamni, Cavalli, Fendi, Zegna, you name it, there was several of each store in the city. The city itself is very small, the absolute hightlight of the city was Piazza San Marco (St Marks Square).

There is a large church at the end of a rectangular square, reminiscent of st peters square in vatican city im sure. In the square, there are thousands of pigeons who actually land on people who have food in their hands. You can buy bags of feed and have the pigeons swarm you.

We didnt get any real italian food there, the pasta and pizza we had was quite ordinary.

We are now in Florence, and this is a much more "Italian" city. One thing i notice here is that they love to wear flashy shoes. Red, Blue, Yellow, all of the puma casual type. There are not as many designer brands here that I can see.

We saw Michaelanglo's David in the Galleria D'Academia, and it was quite impressive. He is "The Man". Kinda like looking into a mirror for me tho :D

We havent done much here yet, im gonna try hit a bar 2nite to watch the Steelers, who are my adopted team since I saw them hammer the eagles at matty fosters house.
